Happy Birthday to InfamousIvi who turns 18 today. Good thing she registered two weeks ago so as not to miss the chance to celebrate her coming of age at ths wonderful Porn site.

Not that I really care much about the reliability of the B-day info but it brings up a question....

I'm going to venture that there are underage posters at Lit, I wonder how many though. is it a problem? There are a bevy of 19 and 20 year old posters, one wonders how many 16, 17 year olds post as well.

Did anyone find this site while less than eighteen?

There was no internet when I was 18...

so nope!

:D

They should not be posting here.



Hi Misstaken! How you doing?;)
 
I've also often wondered the age of some posters - especially the ones that use the typical teenage typing shortcuts like u r etc (I know that some older people also use these shortcuts too) so I just tend to aviod posting with those I feel may be a bit too young.

No sorry I was well over 18 when I discovered this site...actually I was well over eighteen when I discovered computers!

Doing just fine, sweet cheeks!


Miss me ?

*batting eye lashes*


I could be better. Does anyone have a spare transmission for a 96 Plymouth kicking around? :(
 
If someone has lied about their age to register - how likely is it they will admit their sub-18 age now ?
 
The physical age of posters is less worrisome to me than their emotional, intellectual, or psychological maturity. There are 'children' here who are 24, 34, 44. . . . Sort of like the difference between being old enough to make a baby, and being mature enough to be a parent. Lots of people confuse the two.
 
I didn't know of this site when I was under eighteen, but I did know of porn sites.

You know, sitting in my parents kitchen, on their PC, finding those pop up sites with the stars over the womans nipples. So, the idea of them being here doesn't freak me out but I know they shouldn't, and if I catch one, I get to give them the boot. :devil:

I'm sure there are quite a few people underage here, but I seriously doubt that a lot of them post with us. Except for maybe h.s.jock...

I really don't think we're going to pollute a sixteen year olds mind too badly, these children aren't angels. I do wonder how they even register with a low birthdate though, most sites will catch that right away.

You don't think that they actually use their real birthdate do you? :D

Wiggles, Wiggles, Wiggles...*chuckling* You sweet naive girl. <teasing>. Do you really think they're going to register with their actual birthdate?

Am I the only one that read the post up there?

Ok...

Maybe it's just too damn early. :rolleyes: :D
 
What Wiggles is saying is why doesnt the system spit out a member who uses an underage birthdate. In a way you allow underage people to be here by not doing so. Forcing them to lie about their birthdate isnt going to stop them, but it does change the culpability in the eyes of the law, especially with some of the recent court decisions.
 
It has to be up to the parent to know what their kids are doing on a computer. It is impossible for Laurel and Manu to know what the true age of any poster is.

:cool:

Thats a nice principle but the Law is starting to disagree, for better or worse.
 
Don't Laurel and Manu visit the homes of all new members ?

Who were those people, then , who knocked on my door the week after I registered to ask me to show my passport ?
 
True, but she just joined two weeks ago and is now turning 18. You're right though, she should be 'spewed out' until she is of legal age.

Legally who would be culpable? Their parents?

You fell for the oldest scam going, that was Dil and Perky!

:eek: ;) :D
 
about every two month's I go through the years calander for Laurel and post here on the general board all those who have foolishly posted an underage age.

the list is usually around 50 names or more.

I dont pretend to know enough about the law to answer that.

'for Laurel'?

Did she ask you to do this. Does she take any action once you post the names?

I do remember a couple who seemed to use the birthdate as their anniversary together so it wasnt indicative of their biological age.

I did it once after someone as you posted a recent underager.

She thanked me privately for it and asked to keep and eye on it if I wanted to.

When I do post a list of names she usually that same day deletes all those memberships, after checking I presume to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.
 
Usually I'm interested in minds anyway. Afterall, the brain is the greates sex organ. Immature minds can't hold my attention, unless they are glarringly so. In that case I'll read their profile, & report them should they be underaged.

Heh, I'm 20 as of tomorrow.

although i was 18 by the time i got to Lit, i've lied about my age on other adult sites. granted, they weren't a forum style site, it was just porn without any interaction, but i clicked the "YES I SWEAR ON MY SUPPLY OF TISSUES THAT I AM REALLY AND TRUELY 18 YEARS OF AGE" enterance button
